Cobalt

August 29, 2012


I’ve long loved cobalt blue for its virtually universally flattering properties, and the fact that it’s eye-catching without being completely ‘out-there’. Luckily, since the vivid shade is one of fall’s biggest hues, many options in the colour will soon be (and already are) available for our choosing! For those of us who can’t quite wait until full-blown sweater weather to hop on the bright blue bandwagon, this cobalt aztec maxi dress fits the bill perfectly: it’s the ideal breezy piece to wear in the lingering warmth now, and will be equally fun to transition into fall with a cropped denim jacket.

    That’s a great dress, and I love the stark white backdrop with the graffiti.

    I totally agree on cobalt! It is bold but not overwhelming. Plus it looks great in shirts, pants, blouses, dresses, everything really! I love how it looks with the cream and black in this dress.

    Love the pleating and chevron stripes. They help make this cute maxi flattering for petite ladies like yourself! And I like how you kept the accessories minimal too. Have a wonderful day 🙂

    I cannot get over how beautiful this dress is. The cobalt blue is so vibrant and such a great colour on you. The wall art you found is adorable too, I haven’t stumbled upon that in Vancouver before!
